Remineralizing potential of a 60-s in vitro application of Tooth Mousse Plus.

Background: No published studies exist on the remineralizing potential of Tooth Mousse Plus (TMP) when applied for less than 3 min.

Aim: To evaluate (i) the remineralizing potential of TMP on artificial carious lesions, when applied thrice daily for 60 s, and (ii) the benefit of using a fluoridated dentifrice prior to TMP application.

Design: Carious lesions, 120-200 μm deep, were produced by placing molars in demineralizing solution for 96 h, and sections 100-150 μm thick were then randomly assigned to four groups.
